Anyone else watching this show? All the attention given to Netflix originals always seems to be focused on HOC and OITNB, but this is a really great show. Set in the Florida Keys, it's a family drama akin to Breaking Bad in a way (but totally different) in that bad decisions beget increasingly worse decisions. The second season has been up for a few weeks already, but I'm behind on my binge-viewing (just watched ep 5 last night.) To give you an idea this show's pedigree, here's the cast: Kyle Chandler, Ben Mendelsohn, Linda Cardellini, Norbert Leo Butz, Jacinda Barrett, Jamie McShane, Enrique Murciano, Sam Shepard, Sissy Spacek. It goes without saying that Mendelsohn and Chandler are amazing, but Norbert Leo Butz is the revelation here for my money - especially in S2.

Oh, and it's from the creators of Damages. I read/listened to an interview with them when S1 launched, and they have a pretty concrete idea of how the entirety of the show will plan out. (Spoiler: it's going to be five seasons.)

Some people have a fear of snakes. That was a somewhat rational fear. And you could do something about it at least. Stay away from long grass and nature documentaries. Easy. Others have a fear of heights. That was manageable too. Avoid tall ladders. But how do you cope when your fear is something you canít avoid? That you have no hope of staying away from? Being afraid of the sky, where are you going to go?

Love this show. Just finished S2 and I could really see them take this any number of ways. I need to talk to someone about this show.

Netflix has announced that Bloodine's third season will be its last, and has cut the number of episodes ordered from 13 to 10. more
